Nice map, with a couple of shortcomings,

This review is from: Ghana Map (International Travel Maps) (Map)
Easily readable large-scale map of Ghana. One side depicts the southern half of the country, the other side the north. I can't vouch for the entire map, but the areas I've visited appear to be accurately depicted. It could be improved on two points: First the ancient historic mosques (e.g.; the famous one in Larabanga) are not marked, either as historic sites or as mosques. Furthermore, this the first map I've ever seen that lacks any mileage information, either using a scale of miles, or by noting distances between points. But since it's marked as 1:500000 scale, the math works out to 1cm = 5km. Handy to know that.

Do not rely on this map!,

This review is from: Ghana Map by ITMB (International Travel Maps) (Map)
Apparently this is the only road map of Ghana commercially available. During four weeks of travel in Ghana I found this map to be full of horrendous errors, some gross ones, others in small detail.
Major roads are simply not shown on this map, such as perfectly good roads leading to Ada Foah, or there are roads shown that do not exist in reality. I came to several towns of very significant size that were barely a dot on the map. I have the impression that this map is essentially based on maps drawn during colonial times in the 1920's. The only useful map I encountered in Ghana is a map issued a few years ago as a promotional effort by Toyota Co., but this map is unfortunately no longer available. The map serves well to obtain an overview of the geography of Ghana, and once this is done, one should rely on the small but detailed and usually very accurate maps in travel guide books. I used the Bradt Guide for this trip and was very well served.

This is the map you want when you go to Ghana. I've been going for 13 years, and nothing is close to this.
